But don't hold your breath waiting for such a move at CSUSM. Last year, 1,000 adjunct professors at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks formed a union and nearly 2 ,000 parttimers in New Jersey's state colleges did the same. Adjuncts at Columbia College of Chicago currently are in the process of rallying in an effort for more money (a minimum of $ 3,000 per course) and say in decision-making. CSUSM part-time professors who make up slightly more than half of the faculty are not in the process of forming a separate union. Some indeed belong to the California Faculty Association, a union representing university instructors. Few CSUSM adjunct professors volunteered to even comment on the question. Adjunct Professor Elizabeth Clark, the campus' only French instructor, said she didn't have the time to participate in a union and also would not relish paying the monthly dues. Keith Dunbar, an adjunct math instructor, said he was not interested in unionizing because his goal was in reaching a full-time teaching position. Both Dunbar and Clark said they liked teaching at CSUSM and stressed that, as adjuncts, they received positive support both from full-time faculty members and other part-time instructors. "Dr. Stella Clark, my department head, is very supportive of me and my ideas with the program," said Clark. About 225 college-level institutions around the country have unions that jointly represent full and part-time faculty members, according to the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education. The California Faculty Association represents full and part-time professors at CSUSM, but not all faculty members choose to join it. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that it is difficult to unionize part-tiinef instructor becaiis<£ "tKe^re transient, they don't haveriiuchmoney to pay dues and they are more vulnerable to firing." But other part-timers say they see no need to unionize since they aren't exploited, The Chronicle reported. CSUSM has one of the youngest faculties in the country, according to Norma Yuskos from the Public Affairs Department. Hie high ratio of part-time to full-time professors in the College of Arts and Sciences reflects CSUSM's rapid growth rate and constant academic concentration shifty she said, adding, "This will continue until the university finds its niche." There are 112 full-time faculty and 113 part-time in the College of Arts and Sciences, most of whom teach exclusively. Only one of the 10 part-time instructors in the College of Business Administration, Bahram Scherkat, teaches exclusively. The remaining nine have jobs outside the university. The College of Education has 57 parttimee and 27 full-time professors. The Chronicle reported that part-timers account for more than 4 0 percent of college faculties nationwide..

Roosevelt once said that having a dog in the White House was a sure way to snag some friends. Though a canine indeed may be the ultimate ice-breaker, there are times when people simply pay too much attention to a dog. Just ask CSUSM senior Kristin Jensen, whose dog is close to a necessity most of the time. Jensen, a political science/liberal studies major who has cerebral palsy, adopted a 2-year-old golden retriever f rom t he Canine C ompanions f or Independence's Southwest Regional Center in Oceanside. Lee Pieterse, development associate for the regional center, said one of the organization's biggest dilemmas is the frequent distraction people inadvertently provide when they pet a working dog. "People want to pet the dogs, that's why they are called pets," she said. But, she added, it takes a while for the per^ son with a disability to regain the'atT tention of the dog. CCR is a non-profit organization, funded through charitable donations, that trains service, hearing and social dogs for people with disabilities other than blindness. Jensen named her dog "Eisenmenger" (or "Eisen" for short) after a person who had made a significant donation to the Oceanside center. Now the two travel just about everywhere together. Jensen expressed frustration with the frequent interruptions she has experienced since adopting Eisen six months ago. "Sometimes people will pet her and they don't even acknowledge I'm here," she said. "Then she gets distracted and I spend anotherfiveminutes getting her attention back. They don't realize she's working. This is her job." Initially, Jensen was hesitant to adopt. "I didn't want to take the dog away from someone who really needs one," she said, adding, "I'm incredibly independent." But that's just the type of people CCI is looking for, because of the dogs' significant care requirements, Jensen said. "Eisen is like a child. I have to make sure she has water. I have to make sure she has toilet time."

County's HIV/AIDS commu JLmmJrn nity, has b een getting h elp from some CSUSM sotiology graduate students. Beginning last fait, students in Don Barrett's Social Research Process class volunteered for a research project at the Oceanside food bank to get an idea of how a non-profit agency works. They are now in the process of analyzing data taken collected during that time to analyze how effective the bank Is to its clients. "Our grad students ih^ociblogy are learning to be applied sociologists/' said Barrett. "So they are learning to work within the community and conduct research." For the first half of the fall semester, he added, the students volunteered to work at Life Source to become familiar with how the food bank operated. During their work, they interviewed a number of the clients to get a sense of how the agency was perceived. Then, they developed a questionnaire to evaluate how satisfied the clients were with the service. "We collected that data during the winter and we're analyzing it now," said Barrett. "We'll present the information to Life Source in the spring." "For the most part, the clients were receptive in helping the students complete the surveys," said Steven Copelin, director of the bank. "If there was any hesitation in not doing the survey, it was because of the length." In addition, the students learned that Life Source was an important social setting for North County residents with HIV/AIDS, Barretfsaid. "It's not only a food source, but a place where people can go and talk to other people," he added. "It also serves as a meeting ground in getting information to new treatments, doctors and how to handle the case management system." Copeland agreed. "It is a very social atmosphere," he said. "The clients don't mind talking to other people." For many in the class, it was*the first time they had been involved with an HJV/AIDS organization. "If you haven't been around AIDS, the first time you Don Barrett's Social Research Process class provides a go i nto an AIDS agency and shake solid base of understanding for future sociologists hands with somebody, there is a little concern," Barrett said.

C.S. and U.C. systems bank on new energy agreement BY R ICHARD T he P ride M AUSER T • 1 h e Cal State and UC systems, taking advantage of opportuni ties in the new deregulated electricity market, recently signed a new energy agreement that will save the two state institutions more than $15 million. The four-year agreement with Enron Energy Services of Houston, Texas, guarantees the two university systems a 5 percent discount on their annual electricity costs. This will result in estimated savings of $1.5 million a year for CSU. Under the agreement, Enron will provide electricity to all 2 2 CSU campuses arid all nine UC campuses. It is the largest direct-access electrical energy contract in the country. "It's a good deal," said Tom Blair, director of Facility Services at CSUSM. But he added that he will have to wait for more information on the campus' energy usage before he can say exactly how much CSUSM will save, CSUSM now spends nearly $ 700,000 per year on its energy costs, according to Blair. CSUSM will not have to make any major changes to facilitate the new energy provider, Blair said, adding that the only change will be in the university's main metering system. Enron will install its Interactive Metering Solution, the only nation-wide wireless metering system, on all 31 campuses. It allows constant monitoring of energy consumption, thus providing school officials with a way to control any sudden increases in energy usage. Enron also will work with CSUSM to realize even greater savings by reducing t he c onsumption of e lectricity through an extensive package of energy services. In this package, Enron will provide the university with strategic savings plans and will conduct annual workshops dedicated to energy services. Additional services such as account preparation, commodity and customer services and billing will also be included. The collaboration between the two university systems is part of an effort by CSU to increase productivity so it can channel more resources away from administrative costs and toward educational services for students. "By working together, UC and CSU have been able to leverage our size to obtain the maximum pricing advantage," said Richard West, CSU senior vice chancellor for Business and Finance. "These are the kind of collaborations we will continue to seek in the future as we address the challenge of access to quality higher education in a time of expanding enrollment and limited resources." The UC and CSU systems previously have used their combined buying power to purchase such things as furniture and scientific equipment.

Have you ever sat in class, not understanding a word the professor is saying? If so, you have something in common with Yasuko Fujita, an i nternational s tudent at CSUSM. Fujita thought she knew everything about life in America. She had an American friend, watched American television programs and movies and read books about the USA. What s he f ound o ut, t hough, w as that life in America was noth? iftg like the monies. Fujita came from Chiba, Japan, a city close t o Tokyo, 2" years ago t o study at CSUSM. Rather than follow the path of m ost international s tudents w ho begin their s tudies at a community college, she chose to jump right into the rigorous studies of CSUSM's Literature and Writing program. At 2 6 years old, she said she felt "too old" to study at a Japanese university. There, a ma- jority of students are no older than 21. Here, Fujita was pleasantly surprised to find that she was often among the youngest i n her classes. l i f e as a CSUSM student was n ot e asy. There w ere b athrooms with "peep-holes" and professors who spoke in a language she couldn't understand. She didn't know the first thing about writing papers. But she knew where to look for help. She s pent many hours in CSUSM's Writing Center. She w as there s o much that her -friends began t o wonder if she w ere l iving t here. She a lso spent many hours in the computer lab. But she found more than just academic assistance in both. She m et m any p eople and formed many friendships. "I made lots of opportunities to u se t he English language,%o s he says. Si went t o church, school and the library, instead of going to Japanese communities." But that, she said, was critical t o learning English and American culture. With persistence and the help of her professors and friends, Fujita began understanding "What the professors were saying. She became able to write papers on her own. She also learned where the best places t o eat were. Two years after beginning her career at CSUSM, she graduated with honors and earned a degree in Literature and Writing Studies. After graduating, she decided that she wanted to teach Japanese to American students. To prepare for the application process for graduate school, she completed a research project studying the language acquisition process of Japanese students learning English. She also began studying a third language ... Spanish. Her hard work paid off and she was accepted to the graduate program starting this fall at the University of Washington. When asked what advice she would give to other international students, s he replied, "Keep working, study hard, and your goal WILL b e a ccomplished." 1 ATTENTION CONTINUING STUDENTS IN M NM M COMMUNITY LIVING ADVISOR forUi^ H ui g o sn • Fall'98 • Minimum qualifications: m PPHS, suite 102) or the Caner and Assesment Center C SU t rustee Ralph Pesqueira to v isit C SUSM as t rustee in residence BY SCOTT BASS CSU Trustee Ralph Pesqueira will visit CSUSM on March 19 as part of t he u niversity's Trustee in Residence program.

"If the kids have things going on at home, which is the case quite a bit of the time, they're not going to be focused on their academics because there's more emotional needs on their minds," he adds. "That's when I really just love getting to hang out with the kids and talk with them and work through some of their problems. As a teacher, I would get to do that, but you're most focused on the academic." Morales hopes his tutoring center will have a long-term impact on students. "Growing up, I saw how it was easy to get involved in a gang or easy to not care about academics, easy to continue the cycle of going through the motions," he says. "Like finishing high school but then just going straight into the work force in a job that really wasn't going to challenge you, and you weren't going to make a whole lot of money. "I want them to be challenged and enjoy what they're doing and maybe go on to college and get an education and do something where they really feel great about themselves." His center has become more than just a homework haven. "Most of the kids that are here are Hispanic kids," he says. "The majority of kids referred from CSUSM are Anglo kids. It's great because we don't just want to be a tutoring place. We want to be a place where some of the racial and cultural barriers are broken down. "They have t o learn t o work with someone who is not part of their same culture and break down some stereotypes from both ends." The center has four rooms: a study room with tables and bookshelves, a computer room with three computers and a p rinter, a m ain room w ith couches and more tables and a garage that serves as Morales' bedroom. It's open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and three tutors come each day. One is a former high school student whom Morales tutored. The center is completely funded by E mmanuel Faith, a church i n Escondido where Morales is also an intern. Before he began the center, Morales researched two similar sites in Los Angeles. "I'm not doing this from scratch," he says. "If someone's already doing it, why try to reinvent the wheel?" Morales says he's seen many positive things already. "A couple of girls who come were expelled from school for doing something they shouldn't have, but now they're f ired up about s chool. They're in independent study and they bring their work and they work really hard all night long. "We work with them setting goals each night. We ask them what their goals are for the day. We ask if they're realistic goals. If they are, then we encourage them t o work hard to meet those goals. "One girl's GPA jumped nearly a full p pin^frbma i .8 to a 2.6." A math teacher from San Pasqual also helps out. Recently, one of his students who hadn't performed strongly in quizzes scored 19 out of 20. One of Morales' students says he comes because he needed to raise his grades: "They help me with my work," he adds. "Hector gets good tutors to c ome in. I come by myself, but my f riends c ome, too, and we work'on things together because we have classes together. Just a another busy night in Hector Morales' Escondido home "We don't have computers at home, but we work on them when we come here. It's close enough to walk." Sometimes the center is so crowded that students have to sit on the porch steps because there isn't enough room inside. But that isn't a huge handicap, students' say.. As one girl puts it, "The tutors pay more attention to us here than at school." Only four months after opening the center, Morales says he is considering a move. "We started this knowing that it would grow but we didn't know how rapidly," h e adds. "Right now we're discussing the possibility of moving to a bigger facility to accommodate other kids." The center's program may eventually reach beyond tutoring. "My dream is also to incorporate a sports program and t o do gang prevention programs possibly," Morales says. "One of the things on my heart really is kids who get involved in gangs. Many of them are totally bright, but they feel like they want to belong to a group. Those are the kids I really want to reach out to." Morales wants the center to be around for a long while. "This is something I'm in for the long haul, not just the next five years, ten years," he adds. "If I could, I would love to do something in this capacity for the rest of my life until I can't do it anymore. If I get too old to work with young people, I'd love to train adults in how to work with young people. "I definitely want to do something for the Latino community, which I feel is very needed. My reward is the kids." Memoirs of CSUSM 'Superwomen' B Y J OHN I F RESCA t's a student. It's a mother. It's a wife. No, it's Super woman. In celebration of Women's Herstory Month, female CSUSM students read personal memoirs to com memorate the essence of womanhood. Their voices expressed the extraordinary experiences of ordinary women. The genre of memoir, as host Susan Fellows explained, "is a window in one's life." The women who shared their memoirs in March, she added, illustrated the ability of women's writings to transform seemingly unimportant details into powerfully and emotional-charged sentiments. The women who recited their memoirs allowed the audience t o truly feel the e motions behind their memories, she added. Some of the highlights included: The innocent childhood memory of being a fanatically religious Cubs fan in the 1960s in Chicago, where A TRIBUTE TO W OMEN'S H ERSTORY on Sundays praise was rejoiced with "a Hallelujah, an Amen and a Play Ball." The emotional story of another woman's "brown bomb," her jalopy of a car, that symbolized her freedom and her courageous triumph over an abusive husband. The humorous account of a mother's respect for her daughter's s tubbornness in not giving up o n a "lunchable" in the supermarket that the mother decreed was not to be bought. The narrative of a psychologist's wife who balanced the many roles she had to fulfill: wife, mother, worker and student. The laughable explanation of a woman who explained her love of "beer-drinking dachshund dogs" and "big-nose men." The nostalgic piece about a 13-year-old-girl who remembered moving away from "the purple lady, the baseball boys" and the neighborhood she called home. M ONTH The memory of friendship, of unconditional support, of a pregnant teenaged girl w ho recognized that her b est friend would be there when she gave birth. The touching remembrance of a young girl's first date. The satirical recollection of a youthful girl who encountered Catholicism, Protestantism and a rector in England in July 1966. The adventurous excerpt of a young lady who in 1960, with her family, moved from Southern California to Nigeria, landing in the midst of a civil war. And finally, the reminiscence of woman's grandmother who was just as beautiful a person on the outside as s he was on the inside. Although these memoirs, as Fellows said, were only a "small view" in the memories, they were powerful portrayals showing that Women's Herstory Month really is a celebration of all women. �-Faculty stresses that the university also is sensitive to reverse discrimination, and adds, "Ultimately, the best candidate is chosen, regardless of their race or gender." What attracts educators to CSUSM? Many factors, Cordero says, depending on the individual. Location, size and the school's growing academic reputation are some of the main reasons h e has been given by candidates for choosing San Marcos, he adds. Bud Morris, t he Communications Department's program director w ho was hired last fall, cites the composition of the student body as a reason why many want to teach here. "The large number of re-entry students who are serious about their studies make this a desirable place to teach," he adds. The Communications Department hopes to hire two new professors for next fall. High salaries, however, are not one of the university's selling points. A large gap exists between the salaries in the CSU system and other comparable institutions, according to Karas. Despite the lower pay scale, CSUSM typically will receive dozens of applications for any given position, says Karas. A search t eam c omposed of faculty members will screen letters from applicants to narrow the list for any vacancy to^approximately 15-20, '' rhbrie' ihferi^f&vvS me3kfharrow tiie field to a maximum of six applicants, who are invited t o campus. Some candidates are even invited to teach a class to gain a sense of how students will respond to them. Student reaction to potential professors plays an important role. "You get to see how a prospective faculty member engages a student," Cordero says. from page 1 "A candidate may look really good on paper, but really bomb in the classroom. All this is looked at." Stacy King, a junior communications major who watched an applicant teach a sociology class, said, Si think it's good w e get the chance to see to these people teach, as long as it's relevant to the class." Students are then given evaluation forms to rate the applicant's performance. Final hiring decisions are made by the deans of the respective colleges and the faculty, with Karas and Cordero giving feedback throughout the process. Cordero expects 12 new faculty members to be hired for the fall 1998 semester, compared to eight new positions last fall. Another six professors were hired last fall to replace departing faculty. Continuing growth of CSUSM could mean the addition of 15-17 new faculty members each year for the foreseeable future. But funding could b e a stumbling block. "Currently the university has one of the lowest student-faculty ratios in t he Cal S tate s ystem," s ays Karas. "Which is great, but it is also hard to afford. "With 535 new students expected next year,,jsome think .we should hire a certain number of faculty an& I am saying, v No, we shouldn't.'" Karas said the university needs that money for other things, like the library collection, computer labs, technicians and clerical support for faculty. The q uestion of h ow many n ew faculty should be hired is an issue that the faculty and administration continue to struggle with, he adds c o n i n u m t y service f o r t h e Ge/e/yratiofipfSewice; Nomination Forms Available from Office of Community Service Learning at California State University, San Marcos 333 Twin Oaks W e y Road Craven Hall 5316A San Marcos, CA 92096-0001 (760) 7504055 Nomination Deadline March 23,1998 Cb-sponsoredby Unplanned P regnancy?

Kissing a Fool a n e motional g auntfet BY S L ODIA O RAMAS inding love is an odyssey that captivates even the strong at heart. Moving from one rela tionship to another throughout our lives makes up the essence of who we are. The movie, "Kissing a Fool," tests the notion of how far friendship really goes. Part of the quest to find the perfect life partner, it postulates, is realizing who you are. Told through a narrator, it pits two best friends, David Schwimmer (as Max a TV sportscaster) and Jason Lee (as Jay, an author) in a test of sorts. Max falls for a successful, beautiful woman (Sam, played by Mili Avital) who also happens t o be Jay's editor. The two quickly move in together and get engaged. But Max begins to have doubts and decides that for him t o truly know whether Sam is his perfect mate, a test is in order. He asks Jay to find out if Sam really will remain faithful. The only problem is that Jay already has fallen in love with Sam. Finding love was no easy task to begin with for any of the three, but, in the end, they find that love truly does exist ... not only in relationships, but also in friendships. "Kissing a Fool" is enjoyable on different l evels. It p uts t he a udience through an emotional gauntlet that includes comedy, friendship, love and heartbreak. Though it deals with issues that everyone can relate to, the movie crosses a line that most people just wouldn't want to. In the end, though, its heartwarming twist is a pleasant and welcome relief. As Jay says to Max, "What if I missed out on the girl who is?* "Kissing a Fool" is a thought-provoking tale that shouldn't be missed out on. spa re may be 1 ^ ^ ^ p & e ^ e W ^ e i ^ ^ has worth the k # ; scen^in^ I tie I napping, J s Is '.£>ARA P ERALES on bowling had s o I make the movie c enter around afcddefiial M ^Jyltoat With a supposed kid\ H !

Dear EditorIn your last issue you published an article re: the proposed track and field facility in which President Joe Faltaous is quoted as saying that "students need to realize that they belong to this campus and that this campus belongs to them." After reading another article a few pages later I asked myself "do they really?" I am referring to the entry announcing the Eleventh Annual Cal-State San Marcos Ball - to be held "at the elegant Four Season Resort at Aviara on Saturday April 2nd." t ickets are slated at $150 each. Or $ 300 per couple!! The proceeds will be used purportedly for "the university's highest priority needs, including: student scholarships, the purchase of instructional equipment and faculty recruitment." I asked several of my friends on campus if they had heard anything about this function prior to having read the announcement in the newspaper and all said t hey had not. While many expressed an interest in attending-all thought the price of admission too expensive. What happened to furthering the s pirit of c ommunity and harmony within the campus body itself?

With the price of admission set at an exclusionary $ 300 per couple, this apparently is not high on the list of Ms. Shelley Lindstom's ('a Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist') organizing committee. Quite the contrary, the entire affair seems to be a celebration not of diversity but an elitist showcase of pomp and circumstance - one in which only the very affluent can afford to participate. In reality- it is the student-body that makes Cal-State University San Marcos work! That thought may come as a shock to the likes of Ms. Lindstrom. Without us, none of the faculty and infrastructure and million dollar exercise facilities would matter at all. And so I ask you- where is our gala? Where is our party? Where is our celebration? They are nowhere to be found-and that needs to change. Now! Clearly, the students of this university deserve to attend this event more than anyone else! I implore the organizing Committee to RECOGNIZE THIS AT ONCE! ( A b oycott could be VERY EMBARASSING!) By making tickets available to students AT A REDUCED COST - they could work to right this glaringly obvious wrong. Just as other activities offer student rates (movies, athletic games, etc.) - so too could this one at between $25 or $75. $ 300 per couple is exceptionally confiscatory considering the average student earns well under seven dollars per hour after taxes. While it is easy to pay lip-service to the prospect of including all students "in the community" while celebrating "diversity"- not every student here at this school drives an MBZ to and from the family compound in Rancho Santa Fe.- Ms. Iindstom. Most of us live in the real world. And in that real world are real responsibilities. At $ 300 per couple— this event is elitist, it is exclusionary and it is a slap in the face of'diversity.' We might as well change the name of bur beloved Tukwut back to Cougar! (Ms. Lindstrom would probably like that more anyway.) There are many hard-working students at this university who would love to attend this 'gala event' if the costs were affordable. $ 300 per couple may seem reasonable to 'a noted Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist' -but to the average student- that's just too darn much money. And it is high time that the leadership on this campus stopped paying lip-service to slogans like 'diversity' and 'together* n€ss* and started addressing the very real and glaring inconsistencies in instances like this one.

Lit-writing students are the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual...which is to read." • I am a retired teacher who takes literature classes at CSUSM for my own enjoyment, not for credit. I read a book a week for my current class and a book a month for my book club, which is affiliated with AAUW. I also read two newspapers a day. My husband reads the newspapers, non-fiction books, and can hardly wait for "Harpers" and "The Atlantic Monthly" to arrive in the mail. Our married daughter, the mother of a three-year old son, is a voracious reader who finds time to read one or two books/week, two daily newspapers, and numerous magazines. Almost all of our friends are readers, and the women in my book group, all of whom I would call intellectuals and lead very busy lives, find time to read on a daily basis. I think it's time for Dr. Curry to come down from her ivory tower and meet the commoners in the real world.
